Pets aren’t always easy

My dog gets away from me about once every once in a while or so and I feel absolutely terrible. It is always when she sees another dog and gets excited. She’s always on a leash, but I can’t always win the tug of war with her 60lbs of pure muscle. I absolutely hate the way people glare at me when this happens. I understand it, but it doesn’t make it any easier to face the fear of opening the door to step outside with my dog any easier. I’m not a terrible pet owner, but I could be a better one.
My cat will absolutely risk his life to get outside. I don’t want him to go outside and I’ve damn near killed him (accidentally) trying to stop him. He has a will of is own and a determination like I’ve never seen. He is the loudest, most destructive, personable cat I have ever owned. I’ve had a lot of cats over the years. At one point, I had five at one time!
I wouldn’t trade either of them for the world, but sometimes these two remind me that pets aren’t always easy.

Forever frozen

As she stood there posing for another photo, her mind wandered to far away lands where fairies were real and magic was like the very air we breathe. No one questioned the reality of anything there, for they had all been graced by the presence of unicorns. Flowers grew everywhere, even the darkest areas were adorned with beautifully dried flowers. Dead they may be, but their beauty was forever frozen in time….like a photograph.

Elevate My Spirit

I know I take a lot of photos on the water or in the water with a gorgeous sky behind me. I’ll never get tired of doing that, even if people get tired of looking at it. I love the water in both worlds. I feel so at peace whenever all the elements come together. The earth beneath my feet, the water caressing my skin, the wind blowing through my hair, and the sun warming my flesh. All of these elements combined elevate my spirit like nothing else in the world. I realize that those elements are merely pixelated in Second Life, but if I concentrate I can smell and even taste the sea air. The sounds are there if I simply turn them on. Considering where I live in the real world, this is the easiest way for me to experience this on a regular basis. I’m curious if other residents have a place like this that can be replicated in Second Life. I’m sure I’m not alone, but I wonder what sorts of places bring others the same comfort and why.

Do You Believe In Magic?

When I was in the 4th or 5th grade, around 8 or 9 yrs old, I had a huge crush on Shawn Cassidy. For one thing, he was one of The Hardy Boys. If you don’t know who that is, I want you to go to google right this minute and educate yourself, because they were all the rage, along with Nancy Drew and the Bobbsey Twins. Why am I bringing this up? Well, around that same time, Shawn Cassidy had taken on a music career. Naturally, I had to have that album. One of his most popular songs was his rendition of “Do You Believe in Magice” originally by The Lovin’ Spoonful. When I was creating this photo, that song kept going through my mind and I was reminded of this baby blue silver jacket I had with Shawn’s face on the back. His face plastered all over my walls. I adored him. Finally, I can answer the question…NO, I do not believe in magic. *laughs*

Selfies or Desire

Okay, so I was struggling with ideas for what to write about with this photo, because this one just kinda happened all on its own. That happens to me a lot. Sometimes I start with looking for a pose to show off an outfit or item and from there I end up building a scene around myself. I just woke up from a nice long sleep and I’m thrashing about for an idea. So, I take the internet and start looking for quotes about selfies and desire. Lord, the quotes about selfies are not very nice. So, with the sexy look of the photo and the neon sign, I decided to look for quotes about desire. Instead of finding something hot or deep, I found myself drawn to quotes that made me chuckle. So, I’m just gonna share a few below, cuz why the hell not?

Every time I look at you I get a fierce desire to be lonesome. Oscar Levant

Boredom: the desire for desires. Leo Tolstoy

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. Robert Frost

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. H. L. Mencken

Key to Happiness

As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery.
We have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace.
The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as
anger and attachment, fear and suspicion,
while love and compassion, a sense of universal responsibility
are the sources of peace and happiness.

Baby Did A Bad, Bad Thing

Amy Lee cover of Baby Did A Bad, Bad Thing

You ever love someone so much you thought your little heart was gonna break in two?
I didn’t think so.
You ever tried with all your heart and soul to get you lover back to you?
I wanna hope so.
You ever pray with all your heart and soul just to watch him walk away?
Baby did a bad bad thing, baby did a bad bad thing.
Baby did a bad bad thing, baby did a bad bad thing.
Baby did a bad bad thing, baby did a bad bad thing.
I feel like crying, feel like crying!
You ever toss and turn your lying awake and thinking about the one you love?
I don’t think so.
You ever close your eyes your making believe your holding the one your dreaming of?
Well if you say so.
I hurts so bad when you finally know just how low, low, low, low, low, he’ll go.
Baby did a bad bad thing, baby did a bad bad thing.
Baby did a bad bad thing, baby did a bad bad thing.
Baby did a bad bad thing, baby did a bad bad thing.
And I feel like crying, I feel like crying!
Baby did a bad bad thing, baby did a bad bad thing.
Baby did a bad bad thing, baby did a bad bad thing.
Baby did a bad bad thing.
And I feel like crying, I feel like crying!

Quiet Lies

I’m letting the music speak for me….

Matthew Mayfield ~ Quiet Lies

You somehow see inside me

When I lay down

You steal my dreams easily

When you’re around

Quiet lies

Whisper whispered all the time

No more silent treatment

I am screaming in your ear

I’m starving stop at nothing

Til I am inside you for good

For good

Lights blurred with time

And that gray became a light

You see nothing clearly

So head strong deny the feeling

Quiet lies

Whisper whisper all the time

No more silent treatment

I am screaming in your ear

I’m starving stop at nothing

Til I am inside you for good

Ooh for good ooh for good

No more silent treatment

I am inside i am inside

No more silent treatment

I am screaming in your ear

No no no

Starving I’ll stop at nothing

Til I am inside you for good

No no no no

No more silent treatment

I am screaming in your ear

No no no

Starving I’ll stop at nothing

Til I am inside you for good

For good

Hollow

Going through a lot these days and sometimes it is just impossible for me to form the words to express what I’m feeling. In cases like this, I will use a song and this time, Tori Kelly has them.

Tori Kelly ~ Hollow

I don’t wanna be the last man standing
I don’t wanna be the lonely one
Picking petals when the party’s over
No, it’s not any fun

‘Cause I’m fragile
And you know this

So hold me
Wrap me in love, fill up my cup
Empty and only your love can fill up my cup
‘Cause I’m hollow
Yeah, I’m hollow, oh oh oh
‘Cause I’m hollow
Yeah, I’m hollow, oh oh oh

I don’t wanna be the first one folding
I don’t wanna be the joker heart
Tell me, darling, will you understand me?
And not show me your cards?

‘Cause I’m paper-thin
And you, you make me whole again

So hold me
Wrap me in love, fill up my cup
Empty and only your love can fill up my cup
‘Cause I’m hollow
Yeah, I’m hollow, oh oh oh
‘Cause I’m hollow
Yeah, I’m hollow, oh oh oh

I confess (yeah), my weakness
Til you pick up the parts that are broken
Pour out your perfection on me now

And hold me
Wrap me in love, fill up my cup
Empty, ’cause only your love can fill up my cup
So hold me
Wrap me in love, fill up my cup
Empty and only your love can fill up my cup
‘Cause I’m hollow
Yeah, I’m hollow, oh oh oh
‘Cause I’m hollow
Yeah, I’m hollow, oh oh oh
‘Cause I’m hollow (yeah)
Yeah, I’m hollow, oh oh oh (oh yeah)
‘Cause I’m hollow (I’m hollow)
Yeah, I’m hollow, oh oh oh
